Future Music from the United Kingdom
(track description)
3.02. "Skank" by the Higher Intelligence Agency. The HIA stretch their delicate, unforced grooves wide enough to
encompass this World and all the Worlds that have ever been and are yet
to be. Hi-fi, melodius blip-hop. From their Waveform release,
"Freefloater."
3.03. "Drawn to the Woman" by Sounds From the Ground. SFTG, the collaborative energy of Elliot Morgan Jones and Nick
Woolfson, deal in textural dub and wide-screen musical panoramas -
rich heaps of aural gratification and imaginative sound manipulation. From
their Waveform release, "Kin."
3.04. "Lighten Up!" by A Positive Life. Progressive, ground-breaking, anonymous dance-music that's warm,
crisp and glad all over. Trippy, symphonic ambient dub for the digital
age. From their Waveform release, "Synaesthetic."
3.05. "In 7" by Another Fine Day. From a back room in Brixton, Tom Green sucks forms out of the
air, giving audio shapes to the feeling of sitting on soft, sugar white sand,
along the edge of a glimmering turqoise sea. He can also be found
contributing and collaborating with noteworthy types like The Orb.
3.06. "Sign" by Coldcut. Coldcut are multi-talented workaholic DJs Matt Black and Jonathon
More. Cutting, patching, blending and scratching, there is no matching the
silky, funky techniques of these scientists of sound - recognised as prime
movers in abstract instrumental flavoured genres, usually via their own
label, Ninja Tune.
3.07. "Oracle" by Space Time Continuum. The UK's Jonah Sharp, now comfortably settled in San Francisco with
his own Reflective record label, offers smooth bass sounds that could
easily be compared to a submarine passing under the ice.
3.08. "Solar Prophet" by Insanity Sect. There is a so called "worm hole" which links our sun with other
solar systems. Brothers Martin and Kenny remind us of it here, reprising
their moody contribution to TWO A.D. with more brilliant visions.
3.09. "Regina From the Future" by the Starseeds. Inner excursions from Regina and Alex, exploring dreamy ambient
vocal treatments that implicitly encourage intimacy. |
